“Essential reading.”—Journal of Anthropological Research “Stewart adroitly employs gravestones and memorials as material culture to reconstruct the maritime cultures of England and Anglo-America during the Age of Sail.” —American Antiquity
“Breaks new ground. . . . A uniquely comparative work that looks at the two civil wars in diachronic comparative perspective.”—Journal of American History “A useful contribution to the burgeoning scholarly literature on historical memory as a transnational phenomenon.”—American Historical Review
“An important book. . . . Brings together historical archaeology, folklore (to some extent still active) and the important reminder that maritime life included the feelings and activities of the shore-based family and relatives.” —International Journal of Nautical Archaeology
“Suggest[s] fruitful new directions for comparative historians: what happens in the aftermath of violent conflicts, when the guns fall silent?”—Civil War Monitor
“Delves into the symbolism of both imagery and the words chosen to remember the dead. . . . A unique study of an overlooked facet of maritime life.”—Sea History
“An intellectual tour de force.”—Civil War Book Review
“An important analysis of Anglo-American mariners’ attitudes toward death, the dead, and commemoration. It will be valuable to all interested in historic maritime culture and mortuary practices, and reveals a distinctive mariner subculture which also influenced their families back home.”—Harold Mytum, author of Mortuary Monuments and Burial Grounds of the Historic Period DAVID J. STEWART is associate professor of maritime archaeology at East Carolina University. A volume in the series New Perspectives on Maritime History and Nautical Archaeology, edited by James C. Bradford and Gene Allen Smith
“In crisp prose, Escott successfully shows how inertia ruled in both postwar societies, but also how change eroded continuity.”—Choice
“A fascinating study of war, memory, and reconciliation.”—Journal of the Civil War Era “An engaging success on the theme of war and memory.”—Civil War History “A nice discussion of the similarities of the two civil wars . . . [and] an excellent discussion of five great dissimilarities between the outcomes.”—Journal of America’s Military Past “Rewarding. . . . Demonstrates how even unlikely comparative histories can yield great insights.”—Journal of Southern History PAUL D. ESCOTT is Reynolds Professor of History Emeritus at Wake Forest University and the author of numerous books, including Slavery Remembered; Many Excellent People; “What Shall We Do With the Negro?”; and The Confederacy.
EDITED BY ANDREW K. FRANK AND A. GLENN CROTHERS “This important collection of essays reveals new insights and asks potentially fruitful questions about borderland spaces between 1500 and 1850. . . . Essential.”—Choice “Frank and Crothers argue in favor of a more expansive definition of ‘borderlands.’ . . . The analytics of boundaries, whether physical, geographical, ethnic, legal, temporal, or gender-based, can definitely benefit from the techniques employed by these contributors.”—H-Net Reviews “Breathes new life into the borderlands debate by reinforcing that ‘borderlands’ are more than mere locations—they are also imagined spaces and metaphorical tools with which scholars can explore the commonalities of human experiences across time and place.” —Kristofer Ray, author of Middle Tennessee, 1775–1825: Progress and Popular Democracy on the Southwestern Frontier ANDREW K. FRANK is Allen Morris Professor of History at Florida State University. He is the author or editor of several books, including Before the Pioneers: Indians, Settlers, Slaves, and the Founding of Miami. A. GLENN CROTHERS, associate professor of history at the University of Louisville, is the author of Quakers Living in the Lion’s Mouth: The Society of Friends in Northern Virginia, 1730–1865. A volume in the series Contested Boundaries, edited by Gene Allen Smith
